Thank you very much.
Thank you.
It's very nice to be back in England again.
Tonight I'd like to sing several new songs and a couple of familiar ones.
Get right to one of the familiar ones now.
It's probably, I guess, the best known song I have.
It's a love song called The Last Thing on My Mind.

[C] [G]
It's a lesson too [C]
late [G] for the learning
[C] Made [G] of sad, made of sad
In the wink of [C] an eye my soul [G] is turning
[C] In [G] your hand, in your hand
Are you [D]
going [G] away with [C] no word of [G] farewell
Will there [C] be not [G] a trace left [D] behind
[G] Well I could have loved you [C] better, [G] didn't mean to be unkind
You know [D] that was the last [G] thing on my [C] mind
[G] You've got reasons [C] plenty [G] for going
[C]
[G] This I know, this I know
For the weeds have [C] been steadily [G] growing
[C] Please [G] don't go, please don't go
Are you [D] going [G] away with [C] no word of [G] farewell
Will [C] there be [G] not a trace left [D] behind
Well [G] I could have loved you [C] better, didn't [G] mean to be unkind
[D] You know that was the last [G] thing on my mind
[C]

[C] [G]
[Dm] [G] As I lie in my [C] [G] bed in the morning
[C]
Without [G] you, without you
Each song in my breath dies a-burning
[C] Without [G]
you, without you
Are you [D] going away [G] with no [C] word of [G] farewell
Will there be not a trace left [D] behind
[G] Well I could have loved you [C] better, [G] didn't mean to be unkind
You know that [D] was the last [G] thing on my mind
[D] That was the last [G] thing on my mind
